This is interesting.
Hopefully Disney loses. Big corpos need to know their place. |

And even if they don't, this will surely be ugly and embarrassing for them. Having to answer stuff like, why did Gina lose her job for posting memes about WWII vs. today's political climate while guys like Pedro Pascal are free and clear for saying Trump is actual Hitler, and so on.

Imagine the life these guys have. Imagine a variety of life-deficits, but then imagine having several of them all at once. Including so much inner-doubt that you convince yourself you are a hero fighting "the evil". Or even worse, doing it while pretending to be virtuous but knowing the entire time that you are actually sewing hate. And then, when you run out of arguments, stand there and make a hideous screaming noise or like our guy above - just call people "names". The liberal way. |

"...a life-angry, people persecuting liberal..." That's... that's a name, right? I mean, you're calling people who disagree with you "names." And I probably don't understand your highbrow, deep thoughts. You know, being a "life-angry, people persecuting liberal" and all. I feel like you're so, so close to realizing that "the call is coming from inside the house." Which is to say, everything you rail against seems to be exactly what you're doing. Every. Day. Which is fine, and all. I mean, your call to live your life like that. Have you ever thought of running for political office, IMJ? You would make a great precinct delegate, I bet. It's easy to get on the ballot (the two times I've served, I literally had to fill out one form), and it would be a solid way to get plugged in to your local party, meet people who agree with you, and actually do something "real" with all your passion for the topic at hand. Google something like "how to become precinct delegate (your city)," and you should be able to find what you would need. Seeing your name on a ballot (the same one as the actual President of the United States) is a trip. And we've met some amazing, amazing people over the years doing the actual work of knocking on doors, canvassing, phone banking... it's awesome. And you would be good at it. As long as, you know. You stop calling people names . Liberal Love, Rob |

You are completely FOS and as usual my words carry more weight because they are routinely on point while your points rely on twisting words and meaning. It's really that simple and more often than not the interactions conform to that pattern. Nice try, though. |

He means the younger snowflake generation who don’t want to use “him” or “her” and use they instead , or identify as non binary etc.

Well, seen you've been banned for something, so you may not get to see this. But different countries, different laws. We have minimum notify periods and layoff payments here. In many US states, you have "at will" hiring and firing, so you can be gone the same day with no notice or severence other than a cardboard box on your desk for your things (yes, that "stereotypical" Hollywood film exit does really happen) and security escorting you to the door. It's normally part of the company wide policy to follow when you are hired, much the same as don't steal their stuff, don't spend all day on social media, and don't spend too long on toilet breaks.

The bottom isn't even remotely done falling out for Disney. So far we their admissions of detrimental agenda-policy, their ongoing financial disaster reports (they are currently in such a large loss that it could be compared to as if all of Epcot Center was destroyed, unrecoverable and uninsured), and the social ramifications are now underway with this Carano thing the tip of the iceberg.

Anyhoooooow... conservatives are snowflakes for wanting everything the way it used to be (which often wasn't better), and the woke left is going batshit over anything they don't agree with. It's going to be an interesting action because when you're employed by a company, you represent the company, and if what you post doesn't fall in line with the company narrative... it isn't just Disney, it's pretty much most companies in the world. So any potential judgement could have implications for the future elsewhere re my point above. Funded by the owner of Twitter, I mean X, that shuts down speech in general too, but that's a private platform, their rules, you play by them even if you don't agree. Don't agree, go somewhere else.

And it should not act like a colossal snowflake, when someone from the same company has a different opinion. Otherwise, into trash this company goes. Also, if the statement was made on a personal account and does not violate the law, NDA or targets company itself, company has no right to interfere. |

Well this should be interesting, Gina Carano vs Disney’s commie empire. Wow already 3 years since that former U.S. Senator called her a “nazi” on Bill Maher show

You’d think, and here we do actually agree, but that isn’t the case in real life.

Disney inks exclusive deal with Taylor Swift, stock jumps almost 6.5% after hours.
4ChandrewNBD, if there are any other companies you don't like because they are so "woke," could you list them here, please? I would like to invest in all of them. And make a TON more money . |

wtf happened to her? She was hot. Is her character in the mandalorian a descendant of Jabba the Hutt?
She was my crush as a teen, now she can literally crush me by sitting on me. No amount of anti-fatshaming propaganda can save her and body positivity, there's limits to that. All the apologists can seethe all they want, but I can't take seriously a fat woman in an action series. Deep down fatties know what they are and how society feels about them.
